2.0: jupyterlab by default

swaps from default nbclassic and opt-in to lab, to now default to lab and opt-in to nbclassic

defaults to jupyterlab *if* lab 3.1 is available,
so should still work without configuration if lab is unavailable (or too old)

### Example: Enable a Jupyter notebook configuration setting for all users

These examples configure the Jupyter ServerApp,

the same things should work,

## Switching to Jupyter Server
## Switching back to classic notebook
[Jupyter Server](https://jupyter-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is a new Tornado Server backend for Jupyter web applications (e.g. JupyterLab 3.0 uses this package as its default backend).
By default the single-user server launches JupyterLab,
which is based on [Jupyter Server][].
This is the default server when running JupyterHub ≥ 2.0.
You can switch to using the legacy Jupyter Notebook server by setting the `JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP` environment variable
(in the single-user environment) to:
By default, the single-user notebook server uses the (old) `NotebookApp` from the [notebook](https://github.com/jupyter/notebook) package. You can switch to using Jupyter Server's `ServerApp` backend (this will likely become the default in future releases) by setting the `JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP` environment variable to:
```bash
export JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP='notebook.notebookapp.NotebookApp'
```
[jupyter server]: https://jupyter-server.readthedocs.io
[jupyter notebook]: https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io
:::{versionchanged} 2.0
JupyterLab is now the default singleuser UI, if available,
which is based on the [Jupyter Server][],
no longer the legacy [Jupyter Notebook][] server.
JupyterHub prior to 2.0 launched the legacy notebook server (`jupyter notebook`),
and Jupyter server could be selected by specifying
```python
# jupyterhub_config.py
c.Spawner.cmd = ["jupyter-labhub"]
```
or for an otherwise customized Jupyter Server app,
set the environment variable:
```bash
export JUPYTERHUB_SINGLEUSER_APP='jupyter_server.serverapp.ServerApp'
```
